Both doctors and patients must cling to their last bit of hope in any dire situation. That ambition and faith is presented in the British medical soap opera, ‘Doctors.’ The drama series is set in a busy Midlands practice, and follows the turbulent lives and loves of the staff and patients.

The critically acclaimed show, which has won British Soap Awards, is currently airing its 21st series on BBC One, and is also being broadcast on the network’s channel on Filmon TV. (Note that the BBC One channel is only available for free to viewers in the UK, and international users who have a paid subscription.) The latest episode to air on Filmon can be streamed this morning at 8:45-9:15am local time. It can be watched live, or recorded and watched at a later time.

Episode 171 of Series 21 of ‘Doctors,’ which is titled ‘Merry Frightmas,’ was written by Henrietta Hardy, and directed by David Lewis Richardson. The episode follows Al (Ian Midlane) as he takes Jimmi (Adrian Lewis Morgan), Emma (Dido Miles) and Valerie (Sarah Moyle) on a spooky Christmas outing, where they end up confronting some of their personal demons.
